World Masters Athletics Championships Perth 2016 : I am Entered

5000m, 10000m, 8000m XC, Half Marathon. That's what I entered today. The 1500m sounded like more fun but Sunday would have been a long run anyway...choice made. I couldn't do both.

Does it make a difference? No! Training program remains the same. I'm aiming at 1500m / 5000m speed and high volume of 120-130km weeks. Anything I do in that range with those sessions will be OK.

I have only a few days left of base training before a mini-taper and 14km City2Surf (perfect for Half Marathon). Then it's a few weeks of direct preparation to race, ticking off sessions at 400m, 800m, 1500m, 5000m and 10000m pace. Everything is measured. I must hit some targets along the way. Next test after City2Surf 14km will be Canberra Times Fun Run 10km or 14km which is 3 weeks later.

That's the plan...see what happens?

Next set is tomorrow. 6,5,4,3,2,1 minute intervals with 2 minute float recovery on undulating XC surface. Pace starts at 10000m, reduces to 800m pace.
